So English, You Know.

Yes, L agree with you that English
people are capable, somehow, Of the
frankest bad manners In the world
Have YOU heard any OF the funny sto-
ries flying about that English couple
touring among us awhile agor Mr.
and Mrs. - They are both, you
know, public characters, both literary,
learned IN their grooves, madame aeS-
thetic. monsieur reverend, phllan-
thrOpic. and musical enthusiast,
a musical friend Of mine met them
and was sufficiently satisfied by their
converse TO mediate inviting them to
spend some days at her house. She
mentioned this project to the lady who
was entertaining them ~ have no
doubt YOU would make a visit charm
ing to them" the lady replied, but,
before YOU ask them, 1 think l ought,
lnhospIJabIa as II seems, to give you
some slight account OF our experience
as hosts.
This visit to us was to begin ut lunch
time. 1t was almost the hour Tor meal
when Mr.. --, from whom they were
coming 10 us, drove hastily 10 our door.
Have Mr.. and Mrs. -- reached
here yetY'' were almost his first words. y
mo, though Pm looking for them
any moment"
well we're at an utt,r loss what
70 DO. They left Us this morning with
no word as 10 their luggage, their
trunks are standing open IN their
rooms, nothing packed up, and even
their toilet apparatus scattered about.
Are We 20 have them packed, do you
suppose
Just then our guests came Saluta-
tons over. Are our boxes conner"
demanded madam. Mr.. - inter-
posed. II have Just driven here TO
ask ab0uE them As they were open,
aud nothing packed, we did not under
stand your intentions about them"
.'Wuy," ," returned his lady guest, 81
expected your valet would pack my
husbands things, and your wlfe's
maid attend TO mine"
Very good, returned Mr.. -.
The luggage shall come at once" He
has no valet, and his wife no maid, but
somebody packed the boxes and speeded
them here.
At breakfast next morning We had
unbolted wheat gems. Both OF our
guests declined them. but Mr.. --
looked very curiOusly u see what We
should do with them. When one WAS
broken opeu-"Why, they re not
meat, ." he exclaimed.
''Oh, no, they're "A hot bread made oil

''Awl then I'll Try one, ''he remarked.
